Grab a copy of the "Pathways" book by following the link above. The Pathways series has been an on-going project since 2007. I'm always looking to expand the series and will be making more of an effort to travel this year. I'm also eyeing a move to the Pacific Northwest within the next two years. So, if the series interests you, don't let location be a factor in letting me know you'd like to be a part of it.

As my MM portfolio changes to include more artistic nudes and leaves less room for other genres, I want to assert that I’m equipped to shoot whatever my client needs. I have shot major news events and human interest stories, weddings large and small, college and professional sports, celebrities, bands and independent musicians. However, on this site I choose to display the work that I feel fits best with the interests of all you models of mayhem...the "dreaded" TFP.

Because (a) I feel that my talent and time have significant worth, (b) photography is my full-time job and only source of income, and (c) I’m confident that I'm much more than an average photographer, I don’t usually offer TFP. Your pretty face in my portfolio has lost some value as my stockpile of pretty faces has grown. This is generally not a problem, as most people have found that paying my rates is an extremely reasonable investment with excellent returns. For all of you who are flat broke, or just have something else to spend your money on…I offer limited TFP in exchange for your participation in my current project(s). I am presently shooting an artistic nude collection I call "Pathways" and a new series called "Projection". You can find details under my casting call further down the page, and examples in my portfolio. If you are willing to participate in Pathways or Projection, and your portfolio demonstrates that your look would work well for the project, I would like to hear from you. Hopefully no one will confuse my system as "since I get to see you nekkid I’ll take your picture for free," as this couldn't be further from reality.

To satisfy your curiosity, the ONLY reason I do not charge for artistic nude shoots, is that I am able to make prints to exhibit at art shows and sell to interested buyers. Read: if I shoot TFP nudes with you, it is with the goal of displaying and selling them. If this makes you uncomfortable, then unfortunately, you won’t work for the projects. That said, we can work within your comfort level to produce images that preserve your anonymity, and that you would be proud to display. If you are not comfortable trusting me with electronic images, you shouldn’t be comfortable working with me at all. I am a professional, and I conduct myself and my business in that regard. I will never use your image in a manner that we haven’t discussed before we start shooting.

I do realize that there are GWCs (a.k.a. old talentless bastards with photography equipment) lurking out there, so I don't blame gals for being cautious about who you shoot with. In fact I encourage caution…you should feel free to consult models that any photographer has worked with before agreeing to a shoot. Nobody wants to end up in a city park, posing on a picnic table, at high noon, wearing a hand bra.

So, if you want to get the best images for your portfolio, message me to book a shoot. For more of my work, click the link at the top of the page to see my full portfolio. For a more complete stalking, follow my Instagram and Twitter feeds.
